“Climate change is the biggest challenge
mankind will have to face this century.
Furthermore, the challenge has both
scientific and social/political dimensions.
For that end, the research program has to
include the identification of the foreseen
impacts and the outlining of the best
strategies to adapt to these changes,
reducing the magnitude of the impacts.
This is an endeavour in which social and
physical science has to play a key role. The
regionalization and specialization of the
effects observed at a global scale are among
the new challenges pointed out by the
United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change (IPCC) for research in the
21st century.”

FOREWORD BY THE SCIENTIFIC DIRECTOR OF BC3

PROF. ANIL MARKANDYA
International Scientific Advisory Committee
"We believe that we can only be
successful if we are fully
integrated into the network of
research centres working on the
same topic."
T
he Basque Centre for Climate Change, BC3, was established
in 2008, as one of the centres of excellence established under
the BERC programme. As the name suggests, it is devoted to
studying the causes and consequences of climate change and
the best ways of addressing it. Given the vast range of the topic,
BC3 was designed to focus on the socio-economic aspects of
climate change, albeit within an interdisciplinary framework that
includes the natural as well as social sciences. The BC3 is one
of the few centres in Europe with this specialization, and it has
already established a strong reputation in the field.
Since its inception, the centre has grown rapidly; now we are a
team of 31. The areas of work cover adaptation to climate change,
policies and measures to reduce greenhouse gases, a study of
climate agreements. BC3 has been increasingly successful in
obtaining funds from competitive calls, so that in 2012 nearly
one-quarter of our funds came from such sources, in Spain, the
European Union and even more widely.
We believe that we can only be successful if we are fully integrated
into the network of research centres working on the same topic.
To this end, BC3 has developed collaborative agreements with
many institutes: in Spain, across many European countries, in
the United States and also in emerging economies, particularly
Brazil, China and India.
A centre of excellence is evaluated primarily in terms of its
scientific output and in this regard BC3 has started to make a
name for itself. As the staff has increased, so has the volume
of publications, principally in scientific journals, but also in
books and monographs. In the 2009-2012 period we produced
226 articles (of which 73 were in journals listed in the Web of
Knowledge), as well as 18 books and 49 chapters. At the same
time we are mindful of the fact that a research centre working
in the socio-economic domain of a problem such as climate
change has a responsibility to be relevant. Hence we have
participated in major fora where this subject is discussed,
including the annual Conference of Parties to the Framework
Convention on Climate Change, and we are contributing to the
important Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC),
which brings together the state of knowledge on research on
climate and makes it accessible to policymakers. Last but not
least, we have prepared policy briefs and presentations for
various governments, starting with that of the Basque Country
and including those of South Korea, the United Kingdom, France
and Spain.
BC3 is already an established part of the network of centres on
climate change and we look forward to playing an important role
in this area, so is critical for the future of our planet.

DESCRIPTION OF THE CENTRE
The BC3 aims to contribute
to long term research
on the causes and consequences
of climate change in order to foster
the creation of knowledge in this
multidisciplinary science.
"In just over three years BC3 has grown
and developed impressively. It has built
a team of high-quality and enthusiastic
researchers which has enabled it to generate:
an extensive number of high quality research
outputs across a range of areas; research
links with major centres for climate change
across the globe; and a very significant
portfolio of research funding from both
national and international research councils
and other funding sources."
"It has particular strengths in the
important area of climate change
adaptation. It is well placed to become
a major nationally and internationally
recognised centre for research and
policy on climate change."
PROF. DAVID ULPH

C3, Basque Centre for Climate Change, is an excellence
research centre jointly created in 2008 by the Basque
Government and the University of the Basque Country (UPV/
EHU), with the goal of contributing to knowledge on the causes
and impacts of climate change, as well as driving advancements
in high level research on these issues.
BC3 was created both as part of the Basque Government's
determined commitment to the promotion of science and
research and as an initiative to recruit internationally renowned
researchers for the Basque science system. This commitment
translated into the “Plan Vasco de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación
2010” (PCTI or Plan for Science, Technology and Innovation),
which underlined its commitment to place the Basque Country
as a European reference in science and innovation.
The centre also highlights the importance that the Basque
Government, through both the Basque Environmental Strategy
for Sustainable Development for 2002-2020, and the Basque
Plan for Combating Climate Change 2008-2012, attaches
to the creation of knowledge and strategies to reconcile
the improvement of the population’s quality of life with the
preservation of the environment and its resources or, in other
words, a sustainable development.
BC3 aims to contribute to long term research on the causes and
consequences of climate change in order to foster the creation of
knowledge in this multidisciplinary science. The centre seeks to
engage a highly-qualified team of researchers with the primary
objective of achieving excellence in research, training and
dissemination.
The research lines where BC3 has developed research
capabilities fall broadly into the following groups:
• Adaptation to and the impacts of climate change
• Measures to mitigate climate change
• International dimensions of climate policy
• Developing and supporting research that informs climate
policy in the Basque Country
T
he strategic objectives that underlie BC3's strategic plan
support the centre’s vision and focus on its aspiration of
being a research organization globally recognized in the field of
climate change as a benchmark for generating and pushing back
the frontiers of knowledge excellence and efficiency:
1. Develop excellence-based, multidisciplinary climate change
long term research capabilities to become a worldwide
reference.
2. Participate and develop high level training programmes on
climate change.
3. Contribute to climate change knowledge transference and
dissemination to the scientific community, policy makers
and society in general.

RESEARCH LINES
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC), the leading international
body for the assessment of climate
change established by the United Nations
Environment Programme (UNEP) is
reinforcing the emphasis they put on
assessing the socio-economic aspects
of climate change and its implications
for sustainable development, risk
management and the creation of a
response framework through both
adaptation and mitigation. It aims to
provide more detailed information on
climate change in the regional scope.
The need to act and to deepen the
scientific knowledge on climate change
both locally and globally is aligned with
the strategic objectives and the scientific
research lines of BC3.

ADAPTATION TO AND THE IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE
CLIMBE – Distribution of water benefits per hectare per year by
Holdridge zone in A2 IPCC Scenario (dry, moist, wet and rain forest).
1. OBJECTIVES
Our main goal is to assess the impacts
produced by climate change on natural
and anthropogenic systems, including
human
health,
ecosystems
and
biodiversity and water resources and
agriculture, to analyse and prioritize
the main adaptation strategies and
to quantify their associated costs and
benefits. For this purpose, it is important
to differentiate climate-related impacts,
as well as adaptation, across different
geographical scales and economic
sectors, along a number of possible
future scenarios.
2. DESCRIPTION
The analysis of adaptation is closely
linked with the assessment of the
impacts caused by climate change,
considering that these will not be equally
distributed in the world. Vulnerability to
climate change is affected by a number
of factors such as the level of exposure,
sensitivity and adaptive capacity, and
is therefore expected to be higher in
poorer countries and among some
groups of the population.
Our first order of business is to identify
and assess these impacts taking into
account market activities and sectors
(such as forest management and
water supply) as well as non-market
spheres (such as human health, leisure,
environment, ecosystem services and
biodiversity, for which no established
market exists). In the first case we use
market-based methodologies (also
known as market valuation based on
market prices or profits) to assess the
economic impacts. In the second case
we use non-market methods (known as
non-market valuation, such as stated
or revealed preference, production
functions). Economic valuation of the
impacts starts from the measurement
of the physical impacts and their
translation into monetary values. In
this research line we make use of
disaggregated, bottom-up approaches
which are more case-specific, in
contrast to the top-down approaches
developed at a macro level and based
on economy-wide models which tend
necessarily to provide rougher results.
Our second main goal is to identify
which adaptation policies, programmes
and practices can be put in place in
order to reduce or avoid the expected
impacts. For this purpose, we have
to identify vulnerable populations,
estimate the financial resources
needed for adaptation and determine
what damages could be avoided
through their implementation and
what is the cost-effectiveness of the
proposed programmes, in order to help
governments in the selection of the most
appropriate combination of measures.
Economic techniques used for this
purpose include multi-criteria, costbenefit and cost-effectiveness analysis.
In these analysis it is crucial to estimate
also the financial gap in funding for
adaptation in poor countries, where the
potential to adapt is constrained by a
lack of resources, low expenditures and
weak infrastructures. In the context of
adaptation we address methodological
issues such as uncertainty, the choice of
the baseline, reversibility, distributional
effects, discount rates, monetary and
non-monetary evaluation, hard versus
soft adaptation, private and public
adaptation, and ancillary benefits.
3. APPLICATIONS
The main applications refer to forestry
and natural ecosystems, ecosystem
services and human health.
More specifically we mention the twoyear project CLIMBE (Climate Change
and Biodiversity Loss: The Effects on
Ecosystem Services), financed by FBBVA,
and implemented by the Basque Centre
for Climate Change (BC3) and the Centro
Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y
Enseñanza (CATIE). The study assessed
the impacts of climate change on
tropical forest ecosystems and related
services in the Central America region,
as well as the projected economic costs
in the no-policy action case. The study
developed a methodological framework
that combines a set of bio-physical and
economic models, performed at both
regional and local scales. Three groups
of models were developed, the biophysical models (assessing the impacts
on forest ecosystems and the provision of
related services under climate change),
the economic models (assessing the
monetary values of ecosystem services
and projecting future economic impacts),
and the land-use change and cost-benefit
analysis models (assessing the ecological
and economic impacts of different landuses in Costa Rica). The assessment
is particularly relevant in this region
as the loss of ecosystems and related
services strongly impacts socio-economic
vulnerability.
In the context of ecosystem services,
an important contribution is provided
by ARIES (Artificial Intelligence for
Ecosystem Services), a web-based
modelling technology offered to users
such as practitioners, scientists and
decision-makers including members
of NGOs, academic, or governmental
institutions worldwide, to assist rapid
ecosystem service assessment and
valuation (ESAV). The toolkit can be used
to describe, analyse and solve ecosystem
services related management problems,
with the final purpose of making
environmental decision making processes
easier and more effective. BC3, with
ARIES has developed some of the most
advanced methodologies (assembling
deterministic or probabilistic models) to
quantify and value flows of ecosystem
services at the appropriate spatial scale,
ecological and socio-economic context.
This is done through an automated data
integration process utilizing an extensive
database featuring global through local
scale GIS data and ecosystem service
models. ARIES maps concrete, spatiallyexplicit beneficiaries of ecosystem
services, and quantifies their demand for
each service. Conceptualizing ecosystem
services as a concrete list of benefits for
concrete beneficiary groups avoids the
problem of “double counting” of benefits
that has plagued past ecosystem service
valuation efforts.
In the context of human health we cite
the collaboration with TERI institute in
New Delhi with which we developed a
methodological framework to estimate
the additional cost of planned adaptation
in the health sector of India up to the year
2030. The approach adopted stresses on
both preventive and reactive measures,
under different climate scenarios (with
and without mitigation), and also taking
into account the influence of socioeconomic development which is to be
expected in a growing economy like India,
in the near future. The analysis focuses
on malaria, diarrhoea and malnutrition.

MEASURES TO MITIGATE CLIMATE CHANGE
Global energy consumption (1800-2010). In the past, a transition to a new energy source
did not imply the decline in consumption of the previously dominant energy source.
(Fouquet-2009)
The driving force behind much of the
mitigation research activities at BC3 is
the challenge of understanding how to
encourage a transition from an economic
and social structure responsible for large
emissions of carbon and GHG (greenhouse
gases) emissions to one based on lowcarbon sources of energy and mindful of
emissions from agriculture and forestry.
The main objectives of this research line
can be summarized as:
• Modelling the interlinkages between
the economic and the climate systems
to better understand how the economy
will be affected by climate change
and the measures to control GHG
emissions.
• Understanding the role of technology
in reducing GHG emissions and what
kinds of policies will be needed to best
promote the right kind of technologies
(carbon-free technologies).
• Designing instruments to reduce
greenhouse gases at regional, national
and global level.
2. DESCRIPTION
Although climate change can be
caused by natural factors, there is a
scientific consensus that the changes
in temperature, land ice cover, rainfall,
storm intensity and sea level rise over
the past 100 years have been caused
almost entirely by human activities. This
scientific consensus on climate change
is leading to increased attempts to
develop technologies and sciences and
to carefully manage others in order to
mitigate climate change.
Climate change mitigation involves
efforts to reduce the concentrations of
GHG, either by reducing their sources
or by increasing their sinks. Mitigation
efforts include: developing ways to meet
the service needs of the residential
sector, industrial processes, electricity
generation, and transportation while
reducing the energy use; switching to
renewable energy sources (such as
wind power, geothermal energy or solar
energy) and potentially other energy
sources (provided the full social costs do
not outweigh the benefits); developing
methods to minimise GHG emissions
associated with other activities, especially
agricultural activities; expanding forests
and other "sinks" to remove greater
amounts of carbon dioxide and other
GHGs from the atmosphere.
Research related to mitigation strategies
involves understanding which are the
most appropriate tools and methods to
encourage the transition to a low-carbon
and GHG economy, to identify gaps in
climate change mitigation modelling,
analysis and strategies, and to develop
ways to fill these gaps in knowledge. A key
role of BC3´s climate mitigation research
is to develop questions that are relevant
to stakeholders, including policy-makers
at the local, regional, national or global
level.
3. APPLICATIONS
At present, the team is formed by
economists and natural scientists with
strong capabilities in climate finance and
economics, including general equilibrium,
integrated assessment modelling and life
cycle analysis, and in empirical analysis
especially associated with medium-run
to very long-run energy consumption
behaviour and supply factors related to
agricultural production. In addition to many
publications in international journals, this
expertise is providing valuable insights into
our knowledge base, needed to pursue and
complete the transition to a low carbon
economy and for local, regional, national
and international government energy
and climate policies (including energy
efficiency programmes, tradable permit
schemes, energy transitions, and carbon
offsets).
The research projects where BC3 has
been participating include:
• Very long-run relationships between
economic
and
technological
development, energy use and its
environmental effects: in relation to
this BC3 has built the DICER model
which extends the pathbreaking work
of Professor Nordhaus on climate
change and shows how introducing
more regional variations in the data and
modelling climate circulation models
more realistically implies higher costs
of climate change with more action
needed earlier.

London School of Hygiene and Tropical
Medicine and the WHO, published a
series of papers in the Lancet, which
elaborated these results further,
showing that the health benefits of low

high for developing countries.

INTERNATIONAL DIMENSIONS OF CLIMATE POLICY
1.OBJECTIVES
2.DESCRIPTION
The
research
line
“International
dimensions of climate change” is
dealing with both the policy-side and the
theoretical aspects of climate change
research. The ‘policy-side’ is concerned
with topics included in the other BC3
research lines (adaptation, mitigation,
developing and supporting research that
informs climate policy in the Basque
country), but also covers climate-change
research areas not included in these
research lines. The methodologies/
techniques employed are equally diverse
including – amongst others – CGEmodelling, cost-benefit analysis, game
theory, and integrated assessment
modelling.
Recent international negotiations on
climate change were not capable to bring
about a global agreement on climate
change as a successor of the Kyoto
Protocol. A global treaty, where all major
polluters credibly commit to domestic
emission limitations is out of sight despite
the ‘road map’ to a global agreement by
2020 which was agreed at the Conference
of Parties (COP) in Durban in 2011.
Incomplete international agreements,
like those between EU member countries
only might be easier to attain than grand
coalitions but as standard economic
analysis suggests, unilateral emission
reductions by such sub-coalitions are
likely to be undermined by other countries
raising their emission levels.
Both adaptation and mitigation policies
are subjects of research in this research
line and much of it is aligned with energy
aspects (e.g., economic instruments
influencing energy use in a sustainable
way, vulnerability of the electricity sector).
With respect to international policy,
thematic foci of the research strategy are
international environmental agreements
and international climate finance. These
involve topics such as ancillary benefits,
fairness and development.
The programme aims to link research
in the respective subareas (national vs.
international, mitigation vs. adaptation,
etc.) when this is a reasonable option,
in order to derive coherent results and
to develop generally acceptable policy
strategies.
The
research
line
“International
dimensions of climate change” conducts
research on improving the chances for
establishing an effective international
coalition combating climate change and
addressing challenges with respect to
adaptation to climate change. Innovative
measures such as matching schemes
or schemes allowing for internationalside payments are among the core
research topics of the research line.
Research on side-payments in the
context of international climate policy
got an impetus from the Cancun Accords
in 2010 which pledged to mobilize USD
100 billion in international climate
financing annually by 2020. The Accords’
specification that adaptation must be
addressed with the same priority as
mitigation is not reflected in current
patterns of international climate finance,
where we face a strong bias towards
mitigation. Overcoming such a bias might
be one of the major challenges which
the research line deals with. Besides the
research on the adequate disbursement
of international climate funds, further
pressing research questions were raised
with respect to international climate
finance, concerning e.g. fundraising,
governance of international funds and
ethical aspects of mechanisms. Ethical
aspects may – in turn – exert on allocative
outcomes of international negotiations
and should therefore be taken into
account.
benefits such as reductions in local
air pollution. We have investigated
the potential impact of such benefits
on individual countries conduct in the
international climate policy arena.
• New incentive schemes: The research
line team conducts research on socalled matching schemes. These
schemes influence the incentive
structure of countries in a way that
brings about an improved outcome for
all parties. Yet, significant problems
may arise in these schemes and our
research not only identified these, but
also made suggestions to overcome
associated problems.
• Strategic implications of ancillary
benefits on international climate
change negotiations:
• Fairness: Fairness has been stressed
by both policy-makers and researchers
to potentially play an important
role in international negotiations.
We investigated how international
institutions and funds could be
organized such that perceived fairness
levels are increased. We showed
that such improvements in fairness
could bring about a more successful
international climate policy.
Benefits of climate policy arise
from the prevention of economic
and environmental damages. Two
different kinds of benefits, i.e. primary
and ancillary benefits, are produced
simultaneously. Primary benefits are
the benefits derived from pursuing
climate policy’s primary aim, which
is climate protection. In contrast,
the ancillary benefits are secondary
• Mitigation bias: International climate
finance mainly supports mitigation
projects. In order to meet the Cancun
Accords’ aim of a balanced pursuit of
adaptation and mitigation activities,
this bias has to be reduced. The
research team in charge of this
research line analysed the reasons for
the bias and proposed policies which
might help to diminish the bias.

1. OBJECTIVES
The aim of this research line has been to
act as the benchmark centre for research
on all aspects of climate policy in the
Basque Country and Spain drawing on the
substantial research that is ongoing in the
universities and other research centres
locally but also worldwide.
In addition, the research line has focussed
on issues and topics of interest for policy
and decision makers both public and
private in the Basque Country, Spain and
EU. For this purpose, BC3 has developed
strong links with policy and decision
makers, it has grown interconnections
with other research centres and it has
offered specific outputs for several target
groups. This has allowed, on the one
hand, a better understanding of the main
problems decision makers are facing and,
on the other, a direct way to convey the
messages to policy makers.
governments to be able to effectively
design and implement policies.
In order to effectively engage in connecting
these levels of governance and making a
good use of “science for policy making”
BC3 has developed four kinds of research
outputs and services:
• Policy briefing series: directed to both
public and private policy makers,
the PB is an effective way to convey
research outputs in a short and
clear format. 16 briefs have been
produced during the period 20092012, covering diverse areas such as
the COP meetings for international
climate policy, the impacts of EU ETS
for different economic sectors (in Spain
and in the Basque Country) or the role
of energy efficiency rebates.
3. APPLICATIONS
• The use of sophisticated Computable
General Equilibrium (CGE) models to
better understand the impacts of CO2
pricing (the existing EU ETS and other
potential taxes) in the Basque iron and
steel industry.
• The comparative analysis of the role
played by over 20 other European and
American regions in terms of Climate
Policy.
Although climate change policies are
mainly being discussed at international
level by means of the United Nations
Conventions and the Kyoto Protocol, the
bulk of the impact will be felt at regional
and local level. Regional and local
governments are thus very important
actors. Moreover, regional governments
in many parts of the world hold a wide
range of the jurisdictional authority
to implement policy actions for both
adaptation and mitigation. This is the
case for Basque Autonomous Community
and many other regions in the EU.
• Projects of interest and executive
summaries for policy makers: BC3
intensively tried to engage in projects
of interest for policy makers in Basque
Country and Spain, such as the
economic impact of sea level rise in
biodiversity in the Basque Coastline,
the impact of river flooding in different
areas or the analysis of some energy
policies.
• A relatively conceptual but practical
guide of the role of economics of
adaptation.
• Policy reports: Aimed at the members
of the Basque Government, the
Parliament and the climate change
office, these reports (up to 14 of which
have been produced) have addressed
numerous policy relevant issues such
as the role of cost benefit analysis in
climate change adaptation or insights
for the climate change act.
Many other efforts have been directed to
understanding local policy alternatives
by offering them different tools for policy
analysis such as input-output analysis to
assess the impact of certain policies (as
in the case of the energy efficiency plan
of Bilbao, for instance) or the economic
impact of potential flooding events in the
city.
In this context, understanding the
capabilities and roles of all levels of
governance becomes very important:
for local actors to fully comprehend
the implications of the decisions taken
in the international arena; for national
• Advisory support: other type of specific
support has also been offered to the
Basque Government in specific tasks
such as dissemination with members
of Parliament or the briefing for the
international climate change fora.
Finally, BC3 researchers have participated
in the preparation of a number of policy
documents for institutions such as the
World Bank, Committee of the Regions,
IPCC, UNFCCC, UNESCO or UNEP-RISOE
Centre among many others.

The aim of this programme is to attract senior researchers working in the field of climate
change in order to promote research and reinforce dialogue between BC3 and other
institutions.
The objective of the summer school is to offer an updated and recent view of the ongoing
trends in climate change research in an annual basis. The school is designed to approach
the main scientific topics with a multidisciplinary approach, depending on the main
trends on climate change issues and allowing for an integrated view and understanding
of the problem. As years go by, the school might evolve its different approaches when
teaching about climate change.
The Klimagune Workshop is a forum for informal discussion on climate change that is open
to all the agents in the Basque Science and Technology Network. The aim of this initiative
is to share knowledge, projects and developments in terms of scientific advancements,
focusing on the creation of synergies and possible frameworks for cooperation between the
various research groups, organisations and institutions that address this matter.
The Policy Briefings are a series of documents produced by BC3 that provide policy
recommendations based on the expertise of the knowledge body of the centre and the
results from research carried out at BC3. These briefings offer information and training
to policy makers and public interest organisations, to help them address and respond to
the environmental policy related issues.

Accordingly, BC3 launches actions designed for sharing and
disclosing rigorous information on climate change, amongst
these initiatives, BC3 promoted Klimagune Workshop, which
provides a forum for informal discussion on climate change that
is open to all the agents in the Basque Science and Technology
Network.
Klimagune Workshop 2011
Klimagune Workshop 2012
As stated in its strategic goals, BC3, Basque Centre for Climate
Change, is committed to carry out excellence international
collaborative research efforts, to this end, BC3 is participating
as one of the 9 partners in the PURGE research project. This
project, financed by the European Commission, examines the
health impacts of greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction policies in
urban settings in Europe, China and India, using case studies of
3-4 large urban centres and three smaller urban centres. Sets
of realistic interventions are proposed, tailored to local needs,
to meet published abatement goals for GHG Emissions for 2020,
2030 and 2050. Moreover, mitigation actions are also defined in
four main sectors: power generation/industry, household energy,
transport and food and agriculture. The chief pathways by which
such measures influence health will be described, and models
developed to quantify changes in health-related ‘exposures’ and
health behaviours.
The project combines a set of bio-physical and economic
models, performed at both regional and local scales. The first
set assessed climate change impacts on forest ecosystems and
the provision of related services, while through the economic
approach monetary values was estimated for the changes in
ecosystem services that are due to global change. A case study
was developed for Costa Rica focused on biological corridors and
water runoff for hydroelectric facilities.
Models will include ones relating to outdoor air pollution, indoor
air quality and temperature, physical activity, dietary intake, road
injury risks and selected other exposures. Integrated quantitative
models of health impacts will be based on life table methods
encompassing both mortality and morbidity outcomes modelled
over 20 year time horizons. Where possible, exposure-response
relationships will be based on review evidence published by the
Comparative Risk Assessment initiative or systematic reviews.
CLIMBE project provided evidence of a general drying trend in
Central America. As emissions increase, dry forests cover larger
areas at the expense of more humid life zones, being these ones
the most vulnerable to climate change. General trends show a
likely reduction in carbon uptake and water runoff, and a likely
evapotranspiration increase. In economic terms, impacts vary
among countries and forest types, but overall we obtained net
economic losses for all the services, with the highest loss in wet
and rain forests.
Results of the project were presented in several workshops
held in Turrialba (Costa Rica) and Bilbao during the years 2010
and 2011, where important feedback was obtained from the
stakeholder community.
The aim of this initiative is to share knowledge, projects and
developments in terms of scientific advancements, based on the
creation of synergies and possible frameworks for cooperation
between the various research groups, organisations and
institutions that address this matter in the Basque Country.
This initiative was launched in 2010 and brought together over
100 players from the Basque science network in each of its the
celebrated three editions; scientific, agents from technology
centres, enterprise and associations and policy makers working
in climate change related issues.

URGE - Public health impacts in urban environments of
greenhouse gas emissions reduction strategies.
The project addresses the impacts of climate change in tropical
forest, looking at the expected changes in ecosystem services
in the Central America region. This world region is particularly
relevant as the loss of ecosystem services strongly impacts
socio-economic vulnerability.

n December 2011, BC3 launched the book “Handbook of
sustainable energy
The book was edited by Dr. Ibon Galarraga and Dr. Mikel
González-Eguino, researchers at BC3, Basque Centre for
Climate Change, and its Scientific Director, Prof. Anil Markandya
and was published by Edward Elgar Publishers.
This manual on sustainability in the energy field is the result
of over two years of work and contains the contributions from
57 authors,leading academics from around the globe. Major
contemporary issues and debates relating to the sustainable
use of energy are addressed in this far-reaching Handbook.
The contributing authors discuss the ongoing debates about
sustainability and energy use, energy economics, renewable
energy, efficiency and climate policy.
T
his handbook covers the full spectrum of relevant research
including: definitions of sustainability in energy use;
consumer behaviour and energy markets; the impacts of
innovation and new technologies; energy economics and climate
modelling; low carbon economies and renewable energies. The
authors critically engage with perspectives from developed and
developing countries from both global and regional standpoints.
Mr. Tomás Gómez San Román, one of the co-authors of the
book and Director of the Spanish Energy Commission delivered
a speech during the public presentation of the book organized
by BC3; "Retos para la sostenibilidad del sector eléctrico en
España".
REMEDIA
FOCUS ON
SETTING UP COLLABORATIVE SCIENTIFIC NETS
T
B
he REMEDIA network has, as its core objective, to promote
synergies and complementarities among research groups
working in the field, from a multidisciplinary outlook. It also
constitutes a framework for the exchange and dissemination of
scientific and strategic information on this topic in Spain, both
for the various public administrations, the private sector and
the whole of society and, at an international level, contributing
to the implementation in Spain of new international initiatives,
this fostering a closer research collaboration other international
networks.
C3 has promoted the establishment of the RED REMEDIA
(Red Científica sobre Mitigación de Emisión de Gases de
Efecto Invernadero Provenientes del Sector Agroforestal or
Scientific Network for the Mitigation of GHG Emissions from
Agroforestry Activities).
REMEDIA is a new framework, created to promote exchanges
among the researches working the mitigation of GHG emissions
from the agroforestry industry in Spain. REMEDIA is open to
researchers, no matter their background, that feel that can
contribute to this field.
Spain's Ministry of Agriculture, Food Administration and
Environmental Protection (MAGRAMA or Ministerio de
Agricultura, Alimentación y Medio Ambiente), has acknowledged
the importance of this initiative for its contributions to the
improvement of the scientific basis of the estimated GHG
inventory for Spain's agroforestry industry.
The establishment of the REMEDIA network took shape in 2011,
with the "First Symposium on the Mitigation of GHG Emissions
from Agroforestry Activities". This was followed by REMEDIA
Workshop 2012, held in Bilbao in March 2012, which was one
of its most notable milestones. This workshop, promoted and
managed by BC3 Basque Centre for Climate Change, gathered
over 110 researchers of the field and had Jean-François
Soussana, scientific director of INRA, as keynote speaker.
Currently, REMEDIA network is composed of around 150
researches, spread through very diverse geographic regions and
academic fields.
